Claims
- 1. An electrophotographic image forming system comprising
a form cassette for storing forms, a transfer unit for forming an image, a feed means for feeding said form to said transfer unit and a fusing device for fusing transferred image of said form; said electrophotographic image forming system characterized in that, in the path for feeding the form with unfused colored particles (toner) deposited thereon, a form guide is provided in the form feed path so as to contact the non-printing area of the surface of the form with unfused colored particles (toner) deposited thereon.
- 2. An electrophotographic image forming system comprising
a form cassette for storing forms, a transfer unit for forming an image, a feed means for feeding said form to said transfer unit and a fusing device for fusing transferred image of said form; said electrophotographic image forming system characterized in that a form guide is provided on the form eject side of said fusing device.
- 3. An electrophotographic image forming system according to claim 2 characterized in that a form guide is provided close to the fusing roller of said fusing device.
- 4. An electrophotographic image forming system according to claim 2 characterized in that said form guide consists of a combination of metal and resin.
- 5. An electrophotographic image forming system according to claim 2 characterized in that said form guide is provided with a protrusion which contacts part of the roller of the fusing device;
- 6. An electrophotographic image forming system according to claim 2 characterized in that said form guide is depressed at the central portion.
- 7. An electrophotographic image forming system comprising
a form cassette for storing forms, a transfer unit for forming an image, a feed means for feeding said form to said transfer unit and a fusing device for fusing transferred image of said form; said electrophotographic image forming system characterized in that, in the path for feeding the form with unfused colored particles (toner) deposited thereon, a form guide is provided also on the side with the colored particles (toner) deposited thereon.
- 8. An electrophotographic image forming system according to claim 7wherein a form guide is provided in the form feed path so as to contact the end of the form with unfused colored particles (toner) deposited thereon.
